Directions: Study and compare the stages of embryonic
development of the different vertebrates.
Activity 1: So, Who is my Relative?
Guiding questions:
1. In what stages of development do the organisms above show
similarities?

2. Identify the structure, how and where are they similar?

3. In stage 3, identify the structures that made the organisms

different from each other?

4. Can embryonic development be an evidence that evolution

took place? Explain.

Evidences of
Evolution

Teacher Vanessa Lyn E. Quinol

Evolution
- Is the change in inherited traits over successive
generations in populations of organisms.

- This allowed
organisms to adapt
and survive in their
environment
 Evidences of Evolution
1. Fossil records
2. Comparative anatomy
3. Evidence from embryonic development
4. Comparison of amino acid sequence
3. Embryonic Development

• The portion of the life cycle that begins just

after fertilization.
• Many organisms have similar embryos,
supporting the idea of common ancestors.
4. Comparison of amino acid sequences
• Is the similarities of amino acid in sequences in
organisms
 Activity 3:
Amino Acid Sequence
Comparison
Directions: Given the data on the amino acid
sequences of different organisms, answer the
questions asked. Briefly answer and write
your answer in a ½ crosswise.
1. Which among the organisms has the fewest difference in
amino acid sequence compared to Organism A? the most
difference compared to Organism A?

2. Which of these organisms is closely related to Organism

A? least related to Organism A?

3. If you are to rank organisms B, C, D, and E from 1 to 4 (1

being the closest relative to organism A while 4 being the
farthest relative to Organism A, how would you rank them?
 Why is it important for us to
acknowledge and understand
the common characteristics
we share with other
organisms?

Summary
Multiple choice:
1. What type of dating method predicts the age of fossil based on the layers
of rocks?
a. Nitrogen dating
b. Radioactive dating
c. Radiocarbon dating
d. Relative dating

2. What is half-life process?

a. The amount of time for an atom to release energy.
b. The amount of time for a radioactive substance to reach half its amount.
c. The amount of time for radioactive substance to emit its charged particles.
d. The amount of time for an atom to undergo absorption and emission
process.
 3. What type of structures refers to when organisms have parts of similar
functions but of different arrangement and origin?
a. Analogous structures
b. Homologous structures
c. Heterogeneous structures
d. Symmetrical structures

4. What kind of fossils refers to the actual remains of the organism such
as teeth and bones?
a. Body fossils
b. Molecular fossils
c. Resin fossils
d. Trace fossils
 5. If Fossil A is found in an upper layer of rock while Fossil B is
found in a lower layer of rock. We can infer that _____.
a. Fossil A is younger than Fossil B.
b. Fossil B is younger than Fossil A.
c. Fossil A and B have the same age.
d. Fossil A and B are of different origins.
TRUE OR FALSE:
1. Fossils are the remains of organisms that lived a long time ago.
2. Trace fossils are the actual body parts of an organism such as bones and teeth.
3. Large differences in the DNA sequence of the two species indicate they are
unlikely to be related.
4. Analogous structures are body parts with the same arrangement but performs
different functions.
5. Homologous structures are body parts that are different in structure but perform
the same function.

Enumeration:
1 – 4. The four evidences of evolution.
5 – 6. The 2 major categories of fossils.
7 – 8. The two methods used in determining the age of a fossils.
9 – 10. The 2 structures under comparative anatomy.
